Many will argue that PocketCasts is one of the best Podcast apps out there, and I’d definitely agree. It is one of the best, if not the best. The UI is amazing, the functionality is amazing as well. However, it’s not free. It does cost $4, which I definitely think is worth it. Last night, Shifty Jelly – the company that makes PocketCasts – released version 4.5 of PocketCasts with a pretty big changelog, the most important part of that changelog was Chromecast support. But let’s take a minute and go over the entire changelog.
